A compact slab-serif with noticeably rounded, bulb-like serifs and softened corners throughout. Strokes stay fairly even, giving the letters a sturdy, uniform color, while curved joins and gentle tapering keep it from feeling mechanical. Proportions are tight and space-efficient, with clear counters and a consistent rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Overall shapes lean traditional, but the rounded slab details add a playful warmth.
It works well for readable text in short-to-medium passages such as essays, articles, and captions, where a steady texture and strong serifs help guide the eye. The distinctive rounded slabs also make it suitable for packaging, menus, signage, and branding that benefits from a friendly vintage voice. At larger sizes it can deliver punchy headings without feeling overly formal.
The font carries a typewriter-adjacent, retro tone that feels approachable rather than austere. Its rounded slabs and even texture suggest practicality and clarity, with a lightly nostalgic, editorial character.
The design appears intended to blend the dependable structure of a slab serif with softened, rounded details for a more personable, contemporary take on a classic printed look.
Numerals are straightforward and legible, matching the compact set width and the same rounded slab finishing. The overall texture remains steady in continuous text, with enough softness at terminals to reduce harshness while keeping a confident, printed presence.
